Halloween

Our neighbors had a Halloween party the weekend before Halloween, and we had our friends over to our house for trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

Fall Ball

This summer and fall solidified the Keeney's as a baseball family. The boys loved watching the Rangers all summer long, and this fall they both played in our town's little league. Nate played for the A's and had Dave as one of his assistant coaches. Unfortunately, he broke his collarbone midseason, so he wasn't able to play in the last four games. Charlie played his third season with the Rangers, and it was so fun to see how much those boys are progressing. We're grateful for such a great team to be a part of.

After the season ended, Charlie's team had a parents vs. kids game. Parents had to use their son's glove, had to swing the bat with only one had and could only fast-walk to the bases. The kids won 9-5, and Charlie caught one of my pop flies to get me out. I was too proud of him to be disappointed. :)

October Fun

Watch out world! I'm getting caught up on the blog! :)


Annual visit to the pumpkin patch:

You can see the exact same picture of Nate from last year HERE.

Exploring a new (to us) park that used to be a farm and has a "certified Monarch butterfly migration way station":

Hurley Girlies Weekend

In September I was able to head up to Minnesota for a weekend with all my aunts and cousins on my mom's side. We're usually together for holidays, weddings or some other celebration, but this was a nice weekend to just relax and spend time together. That weekend the next town over was having a "Defeat of Jesse James Festival." Apparently it was the last bank that the Jesse James gang attempted to rob, and the townspeople ran them off before they got any money. They had a reenactment, art festival, and lots of fun shopping. It was a fun addition to our weekend.

Nate and his toys

When I was going through my pictures from the last couple months, I found a lot of photos of Nate with toys. I guess he was proud of his creations and wanted me to document them. :)

I'm pretty sure Nate took this picture. Wesley obviously isn't a toy, but he is definitely one of Nate's FAVORITE things.

End of Summer Fun

Best Buds

My parents came to visit and we went to the Bush Presidential Library

A visit from Grandpa & Grandma wouldn't be complete without a trip to the popcorn store 

Dave and I went to the TCU/LSU football game at Cowboys Stadium. It's pretty rare for him to have a Saturday off during football season, so it was a treat for us to get to go cheer our Frogs together.

Back to School

First day of school (8/20/13)

Nate - K4

Charlie - 1st grade

First day of Classical Conversations (8/26/13)

This is Nate's first year to be officially in CC. Despite his appearance in the picture above, he really likes it and is doing well. I'm surprised how much he's already picking up.

We're learning a lot about the Medieval Period, which is right up his alley because he loves knights 

One of the many things I love about CC is the kids give a weekly presentation. Such great practice even for these youngest kids!
